HIDE SMILES / InChI
Sterigmatocystin is a mutagenic and carcinogenic mycotoxin initially produced by species of Aspergillus. Sterigmatocystin is a precursor of aflatoxin B1. In vitro, Sterigmatocystin activates ATM, p53, and Chk2 and damages DNA, inducing G2 phase cell cycle arrest; this mechanism may also involve PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling. In vivo, chronic administration of sterigmatocystin decreases levels of glutathione, ascorbic acid, and α-tocopherol and increases levels of ROS, increasing lipid peroxidation.

Sample Use Guides

Rats: The incidence of chromosome aberrations in bone-marrow cells increased and reached the maximum level at 12 h after an intraperitoneal injection of 10(-1) mM(31.2 mg)/kg body weight of Sterigmatocystin and decreased gradually to the original level after 96 h.
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal
The human hepatoma cell line HepG2 a significant dose-dependent increase of DNA strand breaks was found after treatment with Sterigmatocystin (3 and 6 uM) respectively for 1 h. Increases in ROS level and the expression of 8-OHdG were also observed. A statistically significant increase in AO fluorescence intensity was observed in cells treated with Sterigmatocystin (1.5, 3 and 6 uM) for 1 h.
